Abstract
Using the method proposed in [1], an expression has been obtained for the size distribution function of dispersed particles which takes account of the change in thickness of the diffusion zone surrounding spherical particles. The form of the distribution function and its variation correspond to experimental observations made during the coalescence of cementite (Fe3C) particles in the high-temperature annealing of steel [2].
